Hello, I’m
Chelsie Dubay

Learning Experience / Instructional Designer

“While ‘caring about’ conveys feelings of concern for one’s state of being, ‘caring for’ is active engagement in doing something to positively affect it.” (Gay, 2018, p. 58).

 I am so glad you’re here. Instructional design can often be misunderstood due to it’s ambiguity. I’m here to help humanize this work and explain how you (and everyone!) can benefit from collaborations with instructional designer. I work with teaching and learning professionals to maximize their instructional impact in and out of the classroom. I also partner with institutions to improve the company or classroom culture by leveraging culturally responsive teaching, mentoring, and learning strategies.  I care deeply about the personal connections forged inside of the classroom and how we can utilize those connections to better ignite engagement and learning. 

 

What I do

LXD Design

Leverage human-centered design principles to help learners achieve desired goals.

Course Development

Develop & design courses and curricula that respect current ID best practices while adhering to accreditation standards.

assessment Development

Ensure that the best measure of knowledge transfer and retention is being used.

Community Building

Employ sociocultural strategies to build engaging learning communities where students feel safe to explore.

WRITER/Editor

Construct professional communications to ensure delivery is clear and effective.

Project management

Lead teams to achieve a specific project objective. Ensure that all project-related tasks and deliverables remain on-track.

Work process

In my experience, I've found the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) to be the best model to follow to elicit feedback from stakeholders early in the project to ensure accuracy and satisfaction.
